SCO UnixWare Installation

Note:

If your installation fails, do not attempt to use the

update installation pkgadd procedure to fix the installation.

Follow the instructions in the SCO UnixWare

documentation and in this document to retry the

installation.

Installing the Driver When SCO UnixWare is

Already Installed

To update or install the

adsl20

adsl

adsb20

adsb

drivers on a

system where SCO UnixWare is already installed, follow the

instructions in this section. The procedures are similar for SCO

UnixWare 2.0x and 2.1. Procedures that are specific to a SCO

UnixWare version are noted when necessary.

Caution:

Improper or corrupt driver updates might destroy

your existing SCO UnixWare file system. Back up all

important files before proceeding. Consult your SCO

UnixWare documentation for proper backup procedures.

Installing or updating the driver involves the following tasks, which

must be completed in the order presented:

■

Back Up the Computer—Backs up the old SCO UnixWare kernel

and any other important files.

■

Load the Package—Uses pkgadd to load the 7800 Family driver

package.

■

Modify the New System File—For computers booting from a

device connected to a 7800 Family host adapter, modifies the

new driver that was loaded in the previous procedure.

Loading the driver causes the driver to become a permanent

part of the new boot kernel on rebuild.

■

Rebuild the SCO UnixWare Kernel—Rebuilds the kernel with the

new driver.

■

Boot the New Kernel—Reboots the computer with the new

kernel.
